Abstract (en)

[origin: US2002079044A1] An apparatus for the production of hollow bodies comprises two forming stations (18, 19) and two heating stations (26, 29) and also two transport devices (20a, 20b) which in each case transport a plastic sheet to a heating station and subsequently to a forming station. Each forming station (18, 19) has a preforming die and a forming die, and, for the connection operation, the forming die of one forming station (18) is moveable, in alignment with the remaining forming die of the other forming station (19), in exchange for the preforming die of the latter. The forming stations (18, 19) are capable of being operated independently of one another, the transport devices (20a, 20b) transporting to the forming stations from opposite directions.
